Missing fonts

[Guest]

Hi

I designed a logo a while ago and now I want to change the wording but I
can't find the font that I used. I have reformatted and restored a backup of
the fonts folder I did with Drive Image and the font isn't there. I know it
could have been from another program etc but I have read that there are
fonts on the XP install cd that don't get installed and have to be installed
manually.

How do I find these fonts, I assume they are in a cab file somewhere but
where.

Many thanks

Ian

Hi

thanks for the quick reply. I had already tried your first answer but I got
lost because I couldn't find and font files - I forgot about the expand and
file names (I should of known from my early DOS 3 days). The second answer
gave me what I needed to know fon_ and tf_

I'll try expanding and installing these and let you know later.

Thanks

Ian
